What resolution is the raw video? The HQ version looks like it was upsampled from 640x480.

You're not the first to say you wont be there, but I am beginning to worry it'll be a no show *shakes in fear*... Hopefully SOMEBODY will show !

You still have lots of us standbys raring to go in the waiting list!

What I'd like to know is why everyone seems to be taking this at face value. How can you even include demo racers with any hope for accuracy when they come and go as well as being able to change names? If you're counting them from the beginning, are you double counting the licensed users that were also demo racers?

And what's so bad about spam and off-topicness? We can't discuss LFS 24/7. There ARE other things in life

You're right, and there is an Off Topic forum for that. http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Hey Becky, just wondering if you were able to get my entry form in the PM I sent you.

Is this audio only or video too?

Quote from harlen :

i hate it when people jump to conclusions to me and my fellow demo racers. they say we drive bad because we havent bought a license. some people dont have the money for a license do they play demo, which is great fun anyway.

Congratulations on getting a license!

If I may make a hopefully small, compatible request, would it be possible to have a private server option to control access with a whitelist instead of a password? Basically a text file of LFS account names that the server checks before allowing someone to join. It could make league management smoother as well as preventing password leaks.

Quote from Turb0 :

how about an option to change tyre types when you pit before the race(in garage menus) like you can do with fuel?

In multiplayer games, you can change your tyre type before you pit with the F12 menu. Scroll up and down with the arrow keys and select type with left and right.

I think the impasse here is that FILSCA is waiting for a coder to come up to them, commit to the project, and do it behind closed doors. Meanwhile the LFS community is waiting for FILSCA to make the technical requirements public so the coders can "swarm" around it until someone sticks with it long enough to complete it.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Tell me about it, I spent two hours so far dialing oversteer out and have reached the conclusion that the best solution is to drive ruddy slow!

Isn't the safety car normally slower than the race cars? Like the UF1, XFG, or XRG?

Instead of raging about it here and making yourself look silly, maybe it would be more effective to complain about this in a place where he would be more likely to see it, such as leaving a comment on those videos?

All this skin drama nonsense is getting on my nerves. If you don't like someone using your skin, take it up with them privately.

At what time of day will these races be held? Will it be weekend or weekday?

Quote from wheel4hummer :

We really need more people in the north american division. A race of eleven cars would be boring!

Really? Were all the S1 league races boring then? :P

Please, XRR only. Including others will only mean it will be used less. That car doesn't get enough attention.

Quote from DownShift :

it doesnt seem like you can F up the motor in this game so your not going to over-rev. you can F up your motor but it takes going down the BL straight at 160, slaming it to first gear and holding down the gas untill you stop LOL if you ask me the motors in this game need work >_<

It used to be the case that flooring it before a start would significantly damage your motor. It would also be damaged over a longer 10 or 20 lap race if you disabled throttle cut for upshifting. The damage model might eventually return to that level one day.

How is the oval with LRF cars? Or anything without downforce? Which LFS car would be the nearest analogue to a NASCAR car?

Quote from Metalstar :

I dont like them, Pits are there for refuelling and changing tyres. Not artificially creating interesting moments.

I agree. When a race isn't long enough to need more than 1 tank of fuel or more than 1 set of the softest tyres, I don't see what strategy is added by a forced pit. Just a stop and go penalty for everyone. I mean, would you rather pass someone in the pits rather than toe to toe on the track? illepall

I think one of the enduro leagues had live timing on a website for a 24h event. Was that LFS Spectator?

Quote from christoph schirmer :

c) FILSCA and LFS is a sad matter indeed. I would very much welcome leagues to FILSCA and provide service. But there is one problem: we do not have a script for uploading the results, nor do we currently have the man-power to develop one. That script is actually everything needed. FILSCA is a community-powered endeavor, and as such depends on the engagement and commitment of its members. Maybe some one who is skilled in php would be interest to code a parser?

Some weeks ago the long-standing absence of LFS from the list of FILSCA simulations was explained to be primarily due to lack of a script to automate uploading of race results. I was wondering if anyone in the sizable community of programmers who make addons had taken up the task yet. There's already scripts that can generate lots of stats, http://www.geocities.com/mrodg ... 3_2006_06_16_results.html so shouldn't it be doable?

Don't get discouraged if your progress slows, on a previous set of physics it took me 3 months to go from about 2 seconds slower than the fastest guys to within 1 second.

If you're only going to use one car, you could at least use an spr instead of mpr replay. The lag jolts at the start and the corners aren't too visually impressive.

Quote from JeffR :

Here's a speed run (gauge view) in a 2006 Z06 Corvette to 190mph, wind noise is barely noticable. Of course in a real race car, the side windows would be down. This was done on a 3 mile runway, and my guess is that it took over 2 miles to reach 190mph.

I wouldn't call that barely noticeable. You start to hear wind by 2nd/3rd gear, and by 5th wind and other noises almost overpower the engine compared to the same rpms in 4th.

It's just intended as some silly humor. Thank you Captain Serious

There's an off topic forum for that.

Put me down as an alternate. The dates and times are great for me, but I don't know if it will conflict with another league yet.
